A few days ago we had a walk on the Malvern Hills. The forecast was for fog slowly clearing to reveal a flawless blue sky. In January, in this part of the world, that means it will be still and cold. And so it proved - almost. What happened was, the fog cleared except for where it didn't. So, the valley of the River Severn and adjoining areas remained in thick fog all day. On the Herefordshire side of the hills the fog thinned but didn't quite disappear, especially in the more distant valleys. Frost remained in the shadows. And, for once, the higher ground of the Malverns was warmer than the lower surrounding areas. The town of Great Malvern was decidedly chilly even though it was sunny and fog-free. The view above shows nearby and distant Herefordshire.
